“Excellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

We spent 4 nights in a Doubleroom with our own bathroom. The room is lovely arranged and we had enough space for our stuff and the shoppings ;-) The room was very clean and comfortable. We had also breakfast which was very delicious with fresh fruits, delicious pancakes and enough toast. The location is close to a few bus lines... More

“Great find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 June 2013

We have just spent 4 nights in the family room, it isn't large although it is cozy. Couldn't believe how you could actually fit 5 people in the family room. There is just 3 of us and it was perfect. Maybe if you had 2 kids to put in the bunk beds it would work great, I think 5 adults... More

“Great Stay, Friendly Helpful Hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013

We really enjoyed our stay at the Clarin Guest House. Tidy and well decorated with nice breakfasts. We appreciated the owner getting up early one morning to arrange breakfast as we had booked an early tour - we didn't expect this and it was very kind. The friendly and helpful advice went above and beyond - in our three month... More

We stayed here last November ( sorry taken so long to leave a review), for a few days whilst our son was on Rugby Tour. We had a double room at the top of the house, which was up a quite windy staircase , but not a problem for us . The room itself , was clean and tidy, with... More

We had a shared-bath room, which can sometimes be not so good, but we had no problems. The bedroom, toilet, and shower room were all very clean. Andy greeted us upon arrival and was most helpful with directions and information. Breakfast was wonderful and the room is bright and a nice place to enjoy a morning in Edinburgh! A big... More

Kim and Andy are wonderful hosts. We had a great stay. I actually made a mistake on our arrival and we got to the Clarin a day early... last day of the Tattoo, so of course everywhere was full.
